Finding Area Of Composite Figures Worksheet - Free Printable

I'll solve each of these perimeter problems step by step.

Problem e)
This is an H-shaped figure. Let me add all the outer edges:
- Left side: 5 mm
- Right side: 5 mm
- Top left horizontal: 2 mm
- Top right horizontal: 2 mm
- Bottom left horizontal: 2 mm
- Bottom right horizontal: 2 mm
- Middle vertical section (going down): 1 mm
- Middle vertical section (going up): 1 mm
- The two small horizontal sections in the middle: 2 mm + 2 mm = 4 mm

Wait, let me reconsider this more carefully. I need to trace around the entire perimeter:

Starting from bottom left and going clockwise:
- Up left side: 5 mm
- Across top left: 2 mm
- Down inner left: 1 mm
- Across middle left: 2 mm
- Down middle: 1 mm
- Across middle right: 2 mm
- Up inner right: 1 mm
- Across top right: 2 mm
- Down right side: 5 mm
- Across bottom right: 2 mm
- Across bottom left: 2 mm

Total = 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 25 mm

Problem f)
This is a stepped shape. I need to add all sides:
- Bottom: 10 cm
- Right side (bottom part): 3 cm
- Right side (top part): 6 cm
- Top: 3 cm
- Left side going down: 3 cm
- Horizontal step: 2 cm
- Vertical step: 3 cm
- Horizontal step: 2 cm
- Vertical step: 3 cm
- Bottom left horizontal: need to calculate

Let me work this out more systematically. The total width is 10 cm at the bottom. At the top, we have segments of 2 cm, 2 cm, and 3 cm = 7 cm. So the remaining horizontal segment on the left must be 10 - 7 = 3 cm.

For heights: We have 3 cm, 3 cm, and 6 cm on the right = 12 cm total height. On the left we have steps of 3 cm, 3 cm, and the bottom section which should be 12 - 3 - 3 = 6 cm... but that doesn't match.

Let me recalculate by adding what's shown:
Perimeter = 10 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 38 cm

Problem g)
This is a rectangle with a rectangular cutout.
Outer dimensions: 5.6 cm wide × 6.4 cm tall
Inner cutout: 5.8 cm tall

The cutout creates additional perimeter. The width of the cutout = 5.6 - 1.2 - 0.8 = 3.6 cm

Perimeter = outer rectangle + 2 × height of cutout
= 2(5.6 + 6.4) + 2(5.8)
= 2(12) + 11.6
= 24 + 11.6
= 35.6 cm

Problem h)
This is an L-shaped figure. Adding all sides:
- Top: 3.1 cm
- Right side (top): 3.4 cm
- Horizontal: 3.8 cm
- Right side (bottom): 3.7 cm
- Bottom: need to calculate = 3.1 + 3.8 = 6.9 cm
- Left side: need to calculate = 3.4 + 3.7 = 7.1 cm

Perimeter = 3.1 + 3.4 + 3.8 + 3.7 + 6.9 + 7.1 = 28 cm

Final Answer:
e) 25 mm
f) 38 cm
g) 35.6 cm
h) 28 cm
